Plan update

We leave early Monday morning and fly straight through Miami (with a two hour lay over) to Port-au-Prince, Haiti (PAP). We have heavy bags. The weight of the carry-ons is what I personally care about the most since those bags will be with us through the trip. After packing (and re-packing) the checked luggage, one bag will be at 70lbs since we were told that we could purchase extra weight (and it is heavy!). We are at the weight limit of every bag. I have the biggest backpack known to man!

It was suggested to us that it would be best to pick up Lou the day after we arrive since the flight into PAP is typically late and by the time get near the mission, it would be too dark outside to pick up Lou first. So the new plan is that we will arrive at the airport and go straight through to the BHM. We'll drive back down the mountain to PAP to pick up Lou on Tuesday (oh happy day!). This will give us a short chance to get unpacked on Monday and ready for Lou.

Other than that, there has been no change to the plan. We'll be cleaning my parents house today where we have been staying (thank you for your kindness, patience, and helpfulness Mom and Dad!) and tomorrow we will be doing final packing of our carry-ons and clothes that we have been wearing.
